really good piece by Paul Bias on the Athletic about uh Anthony Gordon and how he's bedded in.
And it's I think it's informative both to Gordon.
For example, he's like already having his name chanted by the crowd.
And like Barcelona players are telling him like this is not normal.
You really have to earn this.
But also about Barcelona, like really stuck in my mind is I think for so long we thought about them of being this financially like stricken club and like having to shop in the basement while
they have been quietly building these youngsters up.
And the thing that Gordon's apparently said to people around him is the dressing room's really impressed him.
Says that it's like a family and like it's a really strong core of players who've all grown up together.
Which, you know, it's true about Kubasi, Lamal Yamal and stuff.
So
Yeah, Barcelona, I was they're now entering my thinking.
Whereas previously I still kind of feel think of them below Real Madrid and a buyer Munich in terms of Champions League.
They're now entering my thinking of they're really sort of coming of age is the right term, I think, right?
Yeah, I I was one of those people who when he arrived, um, I just I I I guess maybe lazily thought more of him of his Germany spell and thought he just benefited from that ridiculous buyer Munich team, second season there, it didn't go as well.
So when he went to Barcelona, I was just kind of waiting for it to fail.
But yeah, that's another one where I've kind of like at humble pie and like i i you you say it seems really settled and you're I'm sure in Barcelona it's not, but everything I read
on on it when I try and step to date with Barcelona, it does just seem he's really settled in.
I think
I think I think at first he wasn't correct if I'm wrong, he he he didn't know much Spanish where he was not looking at any of the newspapers and radio.
